League of Six Kingdoms

"His troops came from an endless number of places. Some were Matoran criminals, others violent brutes looking for a chance to fight, and by far the majority were simply beings who were no longer welcome in their homelands. They were thieves, murderers, traitors, and liars, and easily the most beautiful sight he had ever seen."

The League of Six Kingdoms was a powerful faction created by the Great Spirit Mata Nui to uphold law and order within the Matoran Universe. Led by the Barraki warlords, it attempted to conquer the Matoran Universe, only to be stopped by the Brotherhood of Makuta.

History

95,000 years ago, the Great Spirit appointed six beings as Barraki warlords to rule and bring order to the universe. These were Pridak, Kalmah, Takadox, Ehlek, Carapar and Mantax. The six warlords conquered most of the known universe. One thousand years later, Pridak proposed an alliance of the six Barraki. Takadox was the first to join, and the others followed. Takadox informed on the League's activities to the Brotherhood of Makuta.

The League controlled most of the Matoran Universe, with the exceptions of Artakha, Metru Nui, the Southern Islands, and Daxia, but including Karzahni. Pridak was assigned to control the northeastern region, which included Xia, whose native Vortixx population were hired to produce weapons for the League. Takadox commanded the eastern region, while Kalmah controlled the northwestern region. Ehlek controlled western island chains that included Zakaz. Mantax was assigned to the central regions, and Carapar had the southern lands. The Barraki convinced the Makuta to supply Rahi to serve in their armies, but the Brotherhood's leader, Miserix, instructed his lieutenant Teridax to watch the League.

87,000 years ago, the League formed a trade agreement with Metru Nui, to ensure Metru Nui's guaranteed freedom.

80,000 years ago, emboldened by the success of their conquests, the Barraki began to plan to overthrow the Great Spirit Mata Nui. After stationing their armies in key points of the universe, the Barraki met for a final time, in order to confirm their plan. The Brotherhood, having been informed of the plan by Takadox, assembled a massive army of Toa, Exo-Toa, Rahi and Rahkshi. The army, under the command of Makuta Teridax, ambushed the League's fortress during the Barraki's meeting. The League's armies were no match for the assembled might of the Brotherhood of Makuta, and were defeated. The Barraki were captured after the battle, and brought to Teridax.

Takadox offered to have the Barraki's forces combined with the Brotherhood's and make Mata Nui's overthrow a success, but Teridax instead ordered the Exo-Toa to eliminate the Barraki. However, the Order of Mata Nui member Botar suddenly appeared, and teleported the Barraki to the Pit. The disappearance of the Barraki led to the disbanding of the League of Six Kingdoms. Their fortresses were destroyed completely and their armies were scattered across the universe. The Barraki's plot to overthrow Mata Nui inspired Teridax to eventually formulate his own plan.

In the Pit, the Barraki conspired their revenge against the Brotherhood, and after the Great Cataclysm, were mutated into sea dwellers by the Pit Mutagen. After Toa Lesovikk and Hydraxon's replica captured all the Barraki (save Takadox and Carapar, who had already been taken away), Helryx gave them an ultimatum: fight the Brotherhood or die. Pridak agreed, in the hopes of reforming the League of Six Kingdoms.

Pridak later conquered a small Brotherhood Fortress, and began trying to piece together parts of a smashed wall that were found in the building. He sent Kalmah, Mantax, and Ehlek to visit the Shadowed One, who had discovered a virus that had the potential to infect the Great Spirit. The leader of the Dark Hunters agreed to meet with Pridak, in order to discuss a potential alliance.

The proposed alliance was formed, and the Shadowed One agreed to launch his viruses against Teridax. However, the viruses did not work and the Dark Hunter leader disappeared. Pridak decided to march the Barraki's armies to Metru Nui anyway, but did not reach the city in time, for Teridax was killed and the entire universe became permanently crippled. Instead, the Barraki left the universe onto Spherus Magna.

• Kalmah
• Ehlek
• Mantax

Former Members

• Takadox (rogue)

Military

While the Barraki each lead their own individual armies, overall command is Pridak's. The Barraki's new armies consist of ex-Dark Hunters, exiled Vortixx, and Skakdi, supplied by the Order of Mata Nui.

Former Military

The Barraki's former armies contained small units, which were referred to as legions (one such legion was a Matoran Rear Guard Unit that consisted of fifty-three Matoran). Battle leaders were also present throughout Barraki armies. Though powerful, the entire army was not as disciplined as the Brotherhood's. After defeating the League, the Brotherhood disbanded these armies, killing, enslaving, or selling off the various members.
